At last, with the hips expanded and the waist narrowed, I can share with you this wonderful vintage dress I worked on. I happened to be in the right place at the right time when I stumbled across this dress in a vintage shop - the entire store was 50% off so I scored this dress for only $15! Another fabulous deal, eh? It's definitely a '60s shift dress, straight through the waist and hips, and the fabric belt is supposed to be tied under the bust - empire waist. But alas, it's 2012, not 1960, and my body isn't straight through the hips and waist by any means. So altering it and changing the belt position makes it work for my body and modern times.

I hope you enjoyed this week of vintage themed posts. It's been my pleasure to share these wonderful fashions with you!

OMG! This week has been amazing! I loved LOVED the gold dress! Yes it is definitely very Betty Draper looking. You have that gorgeous vintage look Maryann! And yes I believe that was pamplona purple that I selected at the Event!

I absolutely love that dress. The pattern is so gorgeous, I love the bright colours. You did the right thing lowering the belt, the fit is great on you. I love vintage shopping, even if I don't buy anything, I love looking.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. Your blog is so fun and unique; you have amazing style! (And Bandit is adorably mesmerizing :) It's so nice to meet you!xoKymbitty.and.bunny

I really admire those who can successfully alter their own clothes to fit their needs better... that means you! The dress looks great! And I love that these photos are taken at a golf course, it just seems like the perfect location and I'm not even sure why!

I really appreciate that you are taking vintage and making it modern. I've only just (like last week) gotten into thrifting so I'm excited to see other people's tricks of how to make pieces work for them.
